LDL (Bad Cholesterol) Guidelines. For people at high risk of heart disease, the optimal level is considered 69 mg/dL or lower. People at some risk, but not high risk, for heart disease should aim to have LDL (bad) cholesterol levels that are 99 mg/dL or lower.
Your cholesterol level is considered high if you have total cholesterol levels of 240 mg/dL or higher. It's considered borderline when it's between 200 and 239 mg/dL. Total cholesterol levels below 200 mg/dL are considered ideal, but your individual target cholesterol level may be different, as determined by your doctor and depending on your risk factors for heart disease.
